Question:

My hair has broken off severely on the left middle top of my head. I’ve been scared to go to a beautician in my area because I think that dirty utensils may be an issue. So I have just been giving myself deep conditions and hot oil treatments. My question is: is this good or should I go to a salon and seek professional help? Thank you. I truly appreciate any help u can give me xoxo :-)

Answer:

I am sorry to hear about this issue as I know this must be such a traumatic and frustrating situation for you. My personal recommendation is seek professional help. Remember social media and reviews on websites such as Yelp are your friend. Research is a must when choosing someone who will work on your hair. Inform your stylist that you are in need of a trim and conditioning treatment. The trim will jump start your first step to a head full of healthy hair but please have a professional do it!
